On the day we got engaged, I was too busy thinking about the being married part to think about the getting married part. I didn't even think about wedding planning until I told my family and they started asking questions about what I wanted to do about this and that aspect of the wedding.
And of course, over the months following, many people shared their opinions about different aspects, like what the bridesmaids should wear (and who they should be), when and where to get married, what our first dance should be, and so on and so on. The thing I have heard the most about, by far, is the favors.
Now favors are something I like, but literally could take them or leave them when I go to a wedding. So naturally it amazed me how strong some people's opinions about wedding favors are. Those opinions run the gamut: they should be permanent, they should be useful and disposable, they should be easy, we should turn the basement into a favor-making assembly line, they should be personalized, they should be eco-friendly, they should be put on the dinner tables, they should be passed out in a basket, they should be on a table by the exit...you get the idea. I was considering not having them, but that was quickly deemed out of the question.
So we decided on something that incorporates many of these aspects, and I hope everyone will enjoy them. If not, I'll ask them to do me a favor and keep it to themselves
